I Need Somebody To Love

Eddie Reeves

I can feel my heart pounding inside my head

And my blood’s runnin’ hot and I’m tossin’ in bed

There’s an achin’ inside from the seeds I ain’t sowed

I’m a state of confusion with a heavy load

I need somebody to, somebody to love

Well the devil inside me, he won’t leave me alone

He tell me, “Go out and get it, then you get it on home.”

He say that, “Your ol’ lady won’t know you been gone,

You know a man is a man and man it’s been too long.”

You need somebody to, somebody to love

You need somebody to, somebody to love.”

So I slip out of bed and slide into my cloths

I can feel my heart jumpin’ as I head down the road

To a place called the Sneak Inn where nobody knows

And those hot-blooded women won’t leave you alone

I need somebody to, somebody to love

Well I got what I came for, remained for a while

Then I headed back home with a satisfied smile

When I slipped back in bed lady whispered to me,

“Did you dig it, was it better, than we used to be?”

I need somebody to, somebody to love
